HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Constellation Energy Partners LLC (NYSE MKT: CEP) today announced that the company has refinanced its reserve-based credit facility with a syndicate of three lenders.

The refinanced reserve-based credit facility has an initial borrowing base of $55.0 million, an increase of $17.5 million over the previous credit facility, and provides the company with $21.0 million in borrowing capacity. The borrowing base is subject to semi-annual redetermination, with the next redetermination set to occur in the fourth quarter of 2013. The facility matures in May 2017.

"We appreciate the support shown by the lenders who have worked with us on refinancing our credit facility," added Brunner. "With the closing of this facility we now have a borrowing base that better reflects the value of our asset base, which includes our growing oil reserves, and a bank group capable of working with us on a shared vision to grow our company for the benefit of our unitholders."

Additional details concerning the company's reserve-based credit facility can be found in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and on the company's Web site (http://www.constellationenergypartners.com).
